Meridian Hills Boulevard - A Fatality Waiting to Happen

Steve WagnerNov 6, 2015

A road connecting Indianapolis to Broad Ripple is notorious for accidents,
in both day and night time hours.

Meridian Hills Boulevard, a road running through a community of just over 1600 people, sees an
average of one accident per six weeks, many of them causing thousands
and thousands of dollars in damages.

According to sources, the area is poorly lit, the roadway is narrow, there
is no shoulder on the roughly 45 degree curve, and there are mature trees
at the sides of the road. Indianapolis Power and Light says they have
replaced a power pole at that location at least three times in the last
few years, each time, the cost topping $10,000.

When the light poles are hit, power goes out for many of the houses in
the area, and doesn’t return until IPL can get it back up and running.

So what’s being done about this accident magnet? Nothing, currently.

We just want to make our readers aware that these types of areas exist.
If you are traveling to Broad Ripple to visit the bars and night life
up there, find a different way to come home.
